J. Daniel Pluff, a prominent local financial advisor, established this fund with his wife Diane to benefit a cause that was deeply personal to them — services for children with special needs. When their two daughters, Anna and Sophie, were born prematurely, they both were found to have moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears. Early intervention services helped both girls to adapt extremely well with therapy and hearing technology. During her quest for answers to help her own children, Diane became very involved with helping other local families who were experiencing similar issues with their newborns. She was struck by the frequency of hearing loss in children. The couple established this fund to do what they can to help special needs children and their families with support, comfort and hope.
